ME-SEN: Susan Collins signals she won't campaign against Biden

Republican Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) said she will not campaign against former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Collins said in an interview with the New York Times she does not campaign against former colleagues. Collins and and Biden served together in the Senate.

The New England senator said that she knows Biden “very well” from their days serving in the upper chamber together and that she doesn’t plan to violate her own rule.

I do not campaign against my colleagues in the Senate,” Collins told the Times.

Collins, a moderate in her party, said publicly in 2016 that she would not be voting for President Trump.

She has since progressively fallen out favor with the Trump and has been reluctant to say if she supports his reelection bid.

She hasn't been remotely a moderate in decades. She is a conservative with harsh overtones!

I hope the people of Maine send her packing, and they've got a couple of my bucks to help do so.
